Fast switch cube with more than 6 users?

As I was switching users on our 2-user Powerbook, I noticed that to switch to her profile, the cube spun to the right. When I switched back, it spun to the left. This tends to imply that there is a specific 'side' for each user. If this is the case, what happens when you have more than 6 fast-switching users? (A cube has six sides)

It is not a cube, but it does remember each account's position relative to others, so it knows which direction to spin in. If you only have 2 accounts, then it makes a flat, two-dimensional shape, anyways, and that certainly isn't a cube.

I just created six accounts in addition to my usual account (seven in total) and used Fast User Switching to flip between them all. The 'cube' only rotates to the left and right - never top-wise. Like Gary King said, it remembers each account's position on the 'cube' and the direction of rotation changes accordingly. I must admit, I was a little disappointed!

Incidentally, is there a name for such an object (a shape with multiple sides of equal size but no top or bottom)? I fear I've just asked a question to which there is a blindingly-obvious answer that I've overlooked. Eek!
